Winter League

Winter league season is approaching and teams are filling up nicely. If you would like to enter this year speak to us in the shop.

Last year was a huge success with the winning team getting £300each shop credit. Not bad for playing golf and having fun on the simulator! It’s a very relaxed foursome format played over 9 holes so pick your partner wisely.

You don’t need to play each week but you will need four scores to count to be able to qualify for the semi-finals.

It’s great fun so don’t miss out.

Have you been fitted?

The importance of being fitted for clubs is huge, you'd never buy a pair of shoes the wrong size so why would you use clubs that weren't perfect for you?

If you haven't ever been custom fit for any clubs then now is your chance to see just how much of a difference it can make.

Find details below.

The demo will be on Friday 7th August with time slots from 2pm - 6pm.

The art of persistence

The FedExCup Playoffs get underway this Thursday at the Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey - although Rory McIlroy has already confirmed he won’t be taking part. The world no. 7 has taken a few weeks off in order to recharge the batteries after a disappointing showing at the PGA Championship earlier this month.

Justin Rose, who is currently fourth in the FedExCup standings, leads the British charge and will be aiming to pip Dustin Johnson to the number one spot. That being said, recent PGA Championship and U.S. Open winner Brooks Koepka is in fine form and could be the man to beat in this year's grand finale.

Closer to home, there was a feel-good story over the weekend as Paul Waring, on his 200th attempt, finally won on the European Tour. It wasn’t easy, but he managed to hold his nerve in a play-off against South African Thomas Aiken to win the Nordea Masters. It’s a great lesson for all of us in the art of persistence and determination when it comes to golf; if you keep on working on your game, it will eventually pay off.
